Chapter 618: Aftermath

"According to the report from the local commander, more than 10,000 people have died in the local area."

"There are still many sick people who have not died yet, but it is estimated that there will be deaths in the next month."

"Moreover, this is only the case in one county, and it does not include the situation in other nearby counties that are more serious."

"Bang!" With a bang, Zhao Hai smashed his fist on the table in front of him, making the ministers tremble.

More than 10,000 people, what is the concept?

There were more than 10,000 deaths, and I don't know how many people were infected with the plague!

The population of Daqin was originally only about 10 million, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be few people left along the Yangtze River in the future.

Zhao Hai immediately yelled angrily, "What about the various imperial doctors I sent in the past, and the medical rescue? ”

"And the blockade line that I have arranged, what are they going to eat, and let this plague spread like this?"

"If it can't be cured, at least we must stop the momentum of this spread!"

The civil and military officials, many of them didn't understand the situation, and many of them didn't dare to say anything, they all looked at Zhao Hai tremblingly at this time, and they didn't dare to say a word, for fear of touching their heads.

"I'm asking you!" Zhao Hai roared angrily, and suddenly slammed all the notes on his desk to the ground.

When the ministers heard this, they immediately knelt down, their faces full of horror and at a loss.

At this time, Wei Qian, as the right prime minister, had to be the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the plague is a terminal disease that cannot be cured, and this time the plague came too quickly, too urgently, and too strangely, so for a while, among the many counties, they were infected without being able to react."

"Ordinary drugs can't be effective, even if the top imperial doctors go there, they can't do anything, they can only delay the patient's life a little, but not eradicate the disease."

After Zhao Hai heard this, his face became even more gloomy.

"So, in this Great Qin, where there are many outstanding people and heroes, there is no one who can take this plague?"

When the ministers heard this, their faces were as pale as earth.

Speaking of which, there is really no good way to deal with the situation in front of us except to burn those who have the plague to death and bury them on the spot.

What His Majesty said is really the truth.

Daqin now has no one to stand up.

"I heard that this morning, the imperial doctor who came to the front line came back, where is it?" Zhao Hai controlled his emotions, and then looked at the many ministers and asked.

An imperial doctor wearing a special mask made by Zhao Hai, carrying a small medicine box, walked out of the waiting hall not far from Zhao Hai's side.

As soon as this person appeared, all the civil and military officials in the audience involuntarily took three or four steps back, as if they were avoiding the plague god, avoiding the man in front of them.

Seeing this, Zhao Hai was immediately furious, picked up the pen wash on the table, and threw it towards the ministers under the hall.

"You fucking fuck! One by one, they are greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Yes? ”

"One by one, what kind of dignitaries and nobles do you really think of your own lives?"

Zhao Hai went down to the court, specially grabbed a few ministers, and walked to the imperial doctor.

"I'll take a look, see if you will get the plague, if you will die!"

The ministers were so frightened that they fled from side to side, for fear that they would be caught by Zhao Hai and pulled to the imperial doctor.

Zhao Hai stood in front of the imperial doctor at this time, and he was angry.

"Now I ask you, what is the plague?"

When the imperial doctor heard this, his face turned miserable, and he almost couldn't help but sit on the ground and cry.

"Your Majesty, the purgatory on earth is miserable! Your Majesty! ”

Hearing this, the civil and military ministers in the entire court were all surprised.

In this way, I am afraid that the dead are countless.

Thinking of the severity of the plague, many ministers hid a little farther away, for fear of getting close to the imperial doctor. If Zhao Hai wasn't still there, they would have turned their faces around a long time ago.

Zhao Hai took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "What's the matter?" Why is it so serious? ”

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the counties along the Yangtze River that have suffered from the plague, in order not to cause a crisis for Your Majesty, in order to avoid Your Majesty's punishment, in fact, they have concealed the true situation. ”

"In the beginning, they wanted to burn the infected people to death, so that they could calm the situation and avoid responsibility when nothing happened, but then they realized that there was nothing to stop the spread of the plague."

"Now that the plague is rampant everywhere, to the point where it cannot be suppressed, they report it to the imperial court, and at this time the best time to control and stop it has been delayed."

"It is said that more than 10,000 people died, but in fact, there are more than 10,000? It's too many to count! ”

"Now the corpses of the people are all over the place, and the people who are not dead are rushing to flee, eager to break through the blockade formed by the soldiers, and the panic has been spreading and has not been appeased."

"It's really like there are no people for thousands of miles, and there is a smell of corpses everywhere!"

In the next second, the audience was suffocated.

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak, and Zhao Hai was even more heartbroken, unsteady on his feet, and sat back in his seat.

He seemed to have seen this tragedy, and saw so many people, displaced, dead bodies everywhere, wailing and crying.

"Okay, well, such a big thing, even dare to hide it from me, causing such a major trouble."

"Damn! These people who hide it and don't report it! All damn it! ”

Zhao Hai roared angrily and immediately ordered that all officials who concealed information should be executed.

"Gongsun Jian, you personally lead a team of forbidden troops, as the Son of Heaven's pro-army, plus a part of the brocade guards, personally go to the scene to arrest those people, and if you catch them, you will be killed."

"Don't talk about it in the slightest."

"No, Wechen will do it." Gongsun Jian clenched his fists, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Jiantou withdrew from the Qilin Hall without looking back.

Compared to staying in this place and waiting for Zhao Hai's huge anger to attack, it is better to kill those criminal officials in the plague land, at least this is safer.

An angry emperor is not something that anyone can parry.

Zhao Hai sighed and looked at the imperial doctor in front of him, "Now, how many infected people are?" ”

The imperial doctor choked up and said: "Your Majesty, serious places, it can be said that six or seven out of ten, and the counties that are not seriously affected, one out of ten or two, but even so, there are already countless casualties." ”

"The plague, how is it spreading?" Zhao Hai said.

The imperial physician knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, according to the usual experience, the plague is basically transmitted through water or air. ”

"But this year is different, first of all, a lot of rats were found along the Yangtze River, and these rats appeared in large numbers, and then quickly died, and in some places, there can be dozens of rats in an acre of land."

"It's the plague brought by these rats."
